slocate clamed for 'locate' and 'updatedb', but these files are from
'locate' package, not 'secure locate' package. I never used/installed
'locate' here on Xubuntu, I'd used it in a older Debian and I can't
understand why 'slocate' needs files from 'locate' to update itself
just with this version.

I think you can't see with reinstall procedures. Pay attention to
"remove diversion", because it failed in the first time with files
'locate' and 'updatedb'. So I "touched" two fake files (zero byte
files) just to 'slocate' doesn't stuck during the instalation process.
On the reinstall time (below) this workaround wasn't needed.
